As a former commercial pilot with thousands of hours-in-command, I held an Airline Transport Pilot License and a Class I Multi-Engine Instrument Rating. Therefore, I understand the importance of pilots maintaining their medical clearance. Without it, you lose your pilot’s license and your job.
Over many years, worldwide air regulations were enacted and enforced to ensure flight safety. Pilots are required to undergo regular physicals and cardiac screenings to diagnose any irregularities. The regulations also include prohibitions on alcohol and recreational drugs and restrictions on the use of over-the-counter and prescription medications.
The air regulations also prohibit pilots from using any medications not approved by the FDA. This prohibition would include the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. These experimental injections are not FDA-approved and can only be administered when an Emergency Use Authorization has been issued. Therefore, pilots are prohibited from receiving the COVID-19 jab according to the FAA’s own regulations.
There has never been any allowance or leniency by the licensing authorities. The safety of flight crews and passengers has always been paramount. Every professional pilot I knew (including myself) followed the regulations because they were put in place for our safety as well.
In 2021, all major airlines in the world required their pilots and flight crews to be fully vaccinated with the experimental mRNA vaccines.
The employees were told the vaccines were safe and effective and they were required to comply with the mandate in order to continue their employment with the airline. The pilot and flight attendant unions voiced no disapproval and agreed with the airline companies. Most pilots and flight attendants complied… some refused and were fired.
Then this happened…
FAA changes EKG requirements for pilots
On October 24, 2022, the FAA quietly, without explanation or a public announcement, changed the EKG parameters for pilots to maintain their flight medical status. The change expanded the allowable range for PR (a measure of heart function). This allows pilots with potential heart damage to continue their flying careers. This also places passengers and fellow flight crew members at incredible risk should one or both pilots suffer a heart attack or other event during flight.
Cardiologists have confirmed that a normal EKG PR interval measures between 0.12 to 0.2 seconds. If the PR interval is shorter or longer than this, it can be indicative of a heart problem.
Here’s what Steve Kirsch, executive director of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation had to say after he discovered what the FAA had done:
“The FAA widened the acceptable EKG parameters from a PR max of 0.2 to 0.3, and potentially even higher.
Which means they didn't widen the range by a little. They widened it by a lot. It was done after the vaccine rollout. This is extraordinary. They did it hoping nobody would notice. It worked for a while. Nobody caught it. But you can't hide these things for long. This is a tacit admission from the U.S. government that the COVID vaccine has damaged the hearts of our pilots. Not just a few pilots. A lot of pilots and a lot of damage."
Kirsch says he's confident these widened parameters were necessary due to the widespread heart damage to pilots from the COVID-19 shots. According to Kirsch:
"I believe it is because they knew if they kept the original range, too many pilots would have to be grounded. That would be extremely problematic; commercial aviation in the US would be severely disrupted. But why did they do that quietly without notifying the public or the mainstream media?
I'm pretty sure they won't tell me, so I'll speculate: it's because they didn't want anyone to know. In other words, the COVID vaccine has seriously injured a lot of pilots and the FAA knows it and said nothing because that would tip off the country that the vaccines are unsafe. And you aren't allowed to do that."

Hold on a minute!
Aren’t aviation regulatory agencies like the FAA (Federal Aviation Authority) supposed to be protecting the traveling public instead of bending to pressure from the government and the airlines? According to the FAA’s own website, their mission statement is: “Our continuing mission is to provide the safest, most effective aerospace system in the world.”
Gee, FAA… maybe you should visit your website and refresh your memory on what you’re responsibility is to flight safety.
I have no doubt that airline executives told the government to fix the problem of pilot shortages because the government mandated the COVID-19 vaccine and forced the airlines to comply. Perhaps the airlines threatened public disclosure of their pilot’s heart problems and the government put in a call to the FAA to come up with a solution.
Changing the EKG requirements was the result.
Meet Former American Airlines Captain Bob Snow
Captain Bob Snow Speaks Out (1 min. 24 sec. video)
You’d think the mainstream media would have reported this incident. It’s certainly newsworthy. Are you surprised it was not on the evening news or CNN? I’m not. Anything negative about the COVID-19 vaccines is censored.
Here are the details:
On April 9th, 2022, at 9:29 a.m. Captain Snow landed American Airlines Flight 1067 at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The aircraft arrived at Gate C21 at 9:40 a.m. where Captain Snow suffered a cardiac arrest. Fortunately for him, EMTs arrived in minutes and revived him. And, fortunately for everyone on board the aircraft, Captain Snow did not have his heart attack fourteen minutes earlier while his Airbus A321 was on its short-final approach to the runway. The result could have been catastrophic.
At the time, Captain Snow had flown commercially for 31 years. He was mandated by American Airlines to receive the COVID-19 injection on November 7, 2021, or face termination. As Captain Snow said in the above video, he will probably never fly again.
Oh, and the FAA has never contacted Captain Snow to enquire about the incident. I’m not surprised.
The Bottom Line
There is no doubt in my mind that Steve Kirsch is right. The FAA and other aviation regulatory agencies around the world changed the medical parameters for EKGs in 2022 because they knew jabbed airline pilots had suffered irreversible heart damage. They also knew the injury was not caused by COVID-19. If it was, they would have changed the EKG requirements back in 2020 when pilots were ill with COVID-19. The real question is; why are they refusing to investigate to determine the cause?
The answer is obvious. The aviation authorities don’t have to investigate because they already know that the mRNA vaccines are the culprit. They also know they are guilty of compromising their sole responsibility—flight safety. They ignored their mission statement and regulations when they succumbed to government pressure. That’s right, the FAA and other regulators endangered all of us to satisfy the mandates of governments controlled by vaccine companies.
This is one investigator who is not surprised. I have been witnessing this coercion and malfeasance since January 30, 2020, when the World Health Organization announced COVID-19 was a “public health emergency of international concern.”
It’s still the same game now as it was back then...
Compromise the health and safety of the public to satisfy corporate greed.
Until next time, remember the credo of Homicide Detective Roy Wood in my Mystery/Thriller novel Weeds in The Garden of Love :
“If you consider all possibilities and never rule anything out, you’ll never be surprised.”

The Skeptical Investigator
It's all so mind-boggling, alternate universe, heartbreaking, maddening nonsense. I couldn't make any of this make sense, even if I wanted to. I do know that when the mRNA rolled out and was being mandated, my spouse and I said our flying days were over because this, as you wrote about, would be the fallout. Here we are, being proven correct in our "theorizing" of what would happen if the mRNA we're mandated and SADS started happening all around us. A grandparent who is boosted to nth degree (and stroked out less than 24 hours after a booster, and is still boosting) was disappointed in us that we'd not put our two kids under 10 on a plane to see them. Never a chance in hell BEFORE the mRNA (unaccompanied minors on planes doesn't sit well with me) but, double no chance in hell SINCE the mRNA mandates. That math is a nightmare no matter how you compute it. Crazy talk. 🧠 🗑️🚫 💉
